Hi People,

I have a Firebird 2.1 database that works perfectly under Windows, but has
been problematic under a migration to Kubuntu 9.10.

After initial problems installing and then using DBI:InterBase, I finally
got ODBC working. But I have repeated problems with the date format. The
database was created in a UK locale and Kubuntu is set to a UK locale.

I have a row which I read once and I get 30/07/2009. I read it again later
and get, say, 32231-08-2\x00.

I'm completely befuddled. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening
here?

Regards

Steve
